Yes I don't think we are too far away in our assessments, but where you say Sillett said he was disruptive and unmanageable - where was that, because I have never read any such comments, and a quick google search doesn't seem to come up with any either. Secondly in respect of dismantling the...

I disagree Danny. I know he was a prickly character but Speedie was definitely a team player and the 'unmanageable' stuff is an urban legend connected to his final days with the club when he had a set to with a corporate sponsor. Our problem was that he should have been the first of a number of...

Please point me in the direction of any Tory Councillor who has opposed the Wasps purchase of the Ricoh. EVERY party sanctioned it however you might pretend otherwise. The decision was cross party and would have been made regardless of who had control of the Council. I appreciate that doesn't...

Strange then that the other 12 didn't kick up a fuss!! Given that they were/ are the opposition to the ruling party, their failure to oppose the sale to Wasps is arguably even more damning of them.

The cup winning season was an odd one as he struggled for goals in the League, where quite often we preferred to play Dave Bennett up front with Regis. The cup was a different matter though. The following season we signed Speedie and Houch was then only ever really a bit part player after that...

If I remember right he did, but it was unfortunately disallowed.

Was it only Labour councillors who voted Wasps way?

It's quite hard to be completely objective about his performance last night as you can't ignore the fact he has just turned 17, and making the team this early (even in this competition), obviously shows he must be a really top prospect. Last night he was certainly knocked to the ground a lot...

If Mason replaces McCallum and therefore stops him from being cup tied, it might be a sign that the rumours that we are looking to cash in on McCallum come the transfer window might have some weight behind them.

Jones is a difficult one to call as even if fit we really can't judge if he will be the same player. I will however presume that Allen is the player we are expecting him to be, so my first XI at this point would be: Marosi Rose McFadzean Hyam Dabo Allen Kelly O'Hare McCallum Godden Biamou

Steven Pressley also gave lots of penalties away when he joined us as a player . For an experienced pro McFadzean does look prone to getting caught out by players looking for penalties. Last night was particularly poor given the inexperience of the forward he was marking. The other side of his...

Didn't Godden play up front with Ivan Toney at Peterborough?

Not that he's had a great deal to do but Drysdale is the only real positive so far. He looks very comfortable and composed.

I have lived in Nottingham and know many Forest fans. Fawaz was universally unpopular with them, although they were initially excited at the thought of being backed by a rich Arab tycoon, but the reality turned out somewhat different. Also, other than the vanity involved in being a football club...

This competition stands on its own in terms of suspensions, so the weekends League suspensions do not apply. McFadzean & Biamou will therefore be eligible to play. I would therefore expect the team to be: Wilson Watson Drysdale McFadzean Williams Mason Eccles Walsh Shipley Kastaneer Biamou

In terms of the Ricoh I remember Adel Taarabt being particularly good for QPR.

A few already mentioned - Shilton for Forest in 1978 was best goalkeeping display I ever saw against us. Barnes in the 6-1 defeat by Liverpool, when we actually had a half decent team and took the lead through Gallacher - Ronny Rosenthal was also unplayable that day. Shearer after he had first...

Morrell was not crap, neither was John. The criticism of John at the time was because he could have done so much better. Most people could see that his natural talent meant that potentially he could have been a regular in the Premier League, given which it has to be considered that he...

I only saw Glazier in his last few seasons but I remember him as quite an iconic figure. His dives to save the ball were balletic & visually exciting to watch. As for the Oggy v Blyth debate I would pick Blyth too. Obviously Oggy's longevity was incredible, but for me Blyth was a more complete...

Jim Blyth was criminally under used by Scotland. More so when you consider Alan Rough was picked ahead of him. Now he really was clumsy!!
